Project Goals
About INFORMATION
Guarantee the quality, up-to-date and interoperability of the spatial and
alphanumeric data and photo galleries.
Facilitate access, use and flow of biodiversity spatial information between all the
stakeholders.
About BIODIVERSITY
Introduce conservation approaches in the management and use of the territory.
Go beyond administrative frontiers in the biodiversity management.
Enhance the natural patrimony and existing information knowledge.
www.biodiversidad.navarra.es
Project Goals
About ORGANIZATION
Promote a unique model: basic, integrated, updated and georreferenced including
all the issues regarding biodiversity.
Incorporate tools for detect gaps, contradictions and errors not only about
information but also about management.
Create an experts and collaborators network that promotes the initiative in a
participative way.
Collaborate with other National and European initiatives for standards and Good
Practises creation.

information is a problem ... management is more complicated
Sites management
is “conditioned by” and it’s “condition to”:
1.- Their own Management Policies
2.- Habitats Management Policies
3.- Species Management Policies
4.- Other Management Policies: Forest Planning, Urban
Planning

The solution: an Infrastructure
BUILD BY ALL:
Public Administration, divulgators, teachers, investigators,
techniques, forest ranger, conservationist associations,
consulting, etc.
FOR ALL:
Satisfying in a personalized and scalable way several technical
and management requirements,
answering citizens knowledge demands
with GEOGRAPHICAL component
with METADATA
with technical, semantic and organizational

… and continue improving
Version 2.1 (2011 - march/2012)
organizational:
More feed-back from new working groups
Spreading to engage new users
development:
open wiki content to providers
including counting of species and “not protected” sites
exchanging with GBIF primary data of species distribution
documenting by new type of elements (enter in “triangulation”)
widening search pictures engine to all contents
harmonization:
data model and metadata profile fully compatible with INSPIRE
data model for "species" compatible with Darwin Core
